THE EDITOR. , Sut,4-..As everg circulroattce relative to Spain is at tbe . proeni .111-XiOily sought after, I have extracted toe tniiuwing froui A Review of the Characters of the Tritreipal Nations of Europe," pablihboti upwards of 30 years [1 , 4(3, and which, I pre sume, will not be unacceptable to. your )17.aders, as it chewy what Spain watt under Ft.a.nt NAN D- I. and what it may b&oole through -Vi...autsAND VII. I am, ,Sit, ,your's, VERIYAs. " The country which :first made a capital fiaure - in Europe, and excited the principal attention of the other nations, was Spain, whose powq!„- during a wa- formitiable to all its trei.;, bourse From the union of the House of Arragon with the. iouse a Castile, and bo: h with that Sof Austria, in the person of Citarazs V. arose the most extensive em pire in Europe since that of the Romans, The con cktgion of the tsth, and the greater-part of the . t6th ceuttry, constitute the zra ut *mist) grandeur. " The Superiority that Spain assumed and main tained si) long over the rest of &hope, began with FERDINAND, who was the greatest Monarch of his time in Coristendom. , To. PHILIP It. by his mal administration, may be fairly ascribed the ruiti.of the' Spanish Monarchy : he made himself master Of. Portugal, to which -he had not the least-shadow of • right ; his endless enterprises proved fruitless in the. most destructive degree, totally exhausted. his t-ea sury, ruined his fleets and armies, lost him those Provinces which were the noblest portion of his in heritance, and , finally left the remainder of the Spanish Monarchy in a `state of disorder from which -it eever «as able to recoVer. "Tire Spaniards, until the battle& Roeroy, which began their final downfall; continued the first nation - in tu, ,, pe. Ti a r unshaken constancy, in not des ponding under the burden- of universal enmity— their steady perseveratce.in maintaining their ground ry spot of their dominions, however distant from relief—their brimless and resolution in sup porting their claims, and carrying on a. fourscbre• 'years war - against the Dntch, -or - rather against all -Edrope—their conquests in America—their victories over the Turks—their reducqpn of Portugal--and above all, the respect and terrOl44 ey imptes:Zed upon `their toes, in the mists& of so,tuelm,sii i t#Oties, are facts that render the Spaniards of that-izra 3 people , truly-great and memorable. • " The true original Spaniards, - . as - well as the' Goths, wbo by intermarrieges r were Jtsgtalted upon that stork, were of old, WhO'hey\vticare sprung from their blood remain to t)iiitdiy, a generation of rne:i impatient of -manual toil 'where much inge nuity-and application are requisite. deuce It is'they form most excellent soldiers; and 'they were never - subdued through want of - courage, but only trona a delat pf .union and good order among Themselves. In those , departments of war where a calm patient resolution is the print - iol • requisite, no nation has ever surpassed them : their steady coolness in danger tilting them admirably fOr defence, and even on those - occasions where the most lively.exertion of valour ha's been necessary, bave they proved successful, " The Spaniards have at Ml times been firmly at tached to their - king, and preyed good subjects from motives of subordination. " If the Spaniards are partial to any nation, it.is certainly towards the -English - ; and it is a common saying among them, that provided they-are at peace' with England, it is no matter if they are at war wish the rest of the t odd and they have ever in their • nicicautile affairs shewn great puntinalitv, which . -shews, that notwithstanding the hostility of the • Court, the hearts of the nation were with 'this coun t. " The: probity and generosify of the . Spanish Gentlemen, and persons of any figure in lite, are proverbial :every where. • There-are indisputably no men in whose honest integrity a'greaterdegree of trust and e , nfidence is more ucii . venally reposed. Nor are the inferidf classes wanting in those indica tions of a spirited' turn of mind, that often recal to memory the figure they once made,., and would possibly still make, were an Administration "to,arise, earnestly inclined and resolved to proOote the exist ence,ot all the national qualifications that might be rendered of public utility." ~,„ The following singtilar a& of heroism has been communicated to us as d fael, on the authenticity of which our Readers may rely : While Mr. Tur ner, now residetrt at I:ildwick; in the West Riding . of Yorkshire, was in India, in the Company's ser vice, he and five of his comrades in arms, when'. 'tracing :one of the extensive Wilds in /hut country, wore menaced with an‘attack from a Royal Bengal • Tyger. The animal was making towards thetv With fun speed - , and lrs companions, intimidated by the ferocious isp&.,:t of !he enemy, sc , uo in flight, , and in .order to disencuniber themselves of every. thing that . Might retard their escape",.lett their nrus . keis on the field, Er' the Midst .of this general panic, Mr. Turner stood undismayed; anti before the animal reached hitri, discharged his'musket and lodged, several shot§ iFn his body.. ; Rendered furl-, Os by Ole iOrture, the qger now came to close quarters, when the intrepid „soldier received him with a fixed bayonet, 'which bey some accident came from theMilzzle of the firelock, and lodged in the animal's ho 4. The tiger's eyes flashed, fire,•and making a seOi.ind spring at his ,adversary, seized him by the joins, and had. it not be for 'his car : touCh box and side arms; which• broke the forCe of `the ravenous gripe, certain death milk love ensued. In this dreadful dilemma, vilprating as it; were be twiit life and death,,Mr. Turner h.afia . l - re good for 'tune to fix his bodi in one of the -wounds of his furious, assailant, and, by a' preternatirial,effort,of. strength derived from 'his perilous situation, tore open the wound, and laid his enemy lifeless at his' feet. Frtlm this daring and berpica4iod he obtained. the name of the Mon-tyger,. „nd. tire East India Company settled uptin hitu k . peosion 'for life.) On Tuesday evening a labouring man walking along thi; street at Deptford, being taken Suddenly went into a public : house,_anci called for a glass of s pirits 7 , but before he could be served, he fell down backwards and instantly expired.

Having received orders while in:London to take command of a- squadron, and hoist his flag on board the Fumidable, at Pertsmouttr, he travelled, tor.dispatch, with Out serrath4, plainly 'd.te,sed, in - the mail=•coach. As it freqtaehtly._ pens in this sort of conveyance, the -pas,,-engers were unknown to each other, and Sir Itooaa found him self in company with a young man, who proved, lay his uhiform, to be a Mate of one of the East In -diamen then lying at the 11.4otherbank. When they - had proceeded within: a .few miles of Peterstield, the young Otficer.pulled out some cheese and bread from a bundle, and invited his fellow-travellers to eat. During their repast he entertained them with sea phrases, which indeced %the Adinirat jocosely to ask him many. simple questions relating ;o nautical tactics ; among others, .he demanded how sailors could see at night, ; m whether they were not co pelted wale . the ship to a post, or tree, heti' MOM- The Mate. was oat backward in bestowing a I few hearty d—ns upon the ienerance and Jubberly lingo of the Admiral, who 1;44100 heartily at the, joke ; and he.not only bore the rough observations of the sailor wish good. hamour,.but the contemptu ous grins of his fellow-passengers. On their arrival at Portsmouth, the Admiral shook bands vi ith the Matc,,and went on boatd his ship. The sa_ne day Sir ROGER came on store in his broad pld-laced hat-and uniform ; he was attended by several of his -bargemen, and while walking up Poiet-.street, he met his late felldwpassenger, the Mate of the India .man. Before the latter could recover from his stir , prise, Sir ROGER accosted him with What cheer, messmate ; you see I am nut the lubber yon took me for ; but come, as I breakfasted out .91 your locker dais morning, you shall splice the main-brace with me this evening, then you nay :square your yards arid . run befereabe wind to the Motherbank." The Mate, with astonishment, apologised, as, welt -as he was able, for the liberty he had taken with the Admiral, who soon released him from his embarrass ment, and advised him, over a bottle, never. to be decoyed in future by false colours, but to look sharply at the mould and trim of every vessel he met, before he suffered her to surprise him. SINGULAR SPECIES OF SWINDLING.—On Saturday se'nnight a Middle-aged woman, with a' disordered air, was observed to rush into the sea, near the • battery, at Aberdeen, apparently with an intention to drown herself. Bring seen by a soldier of the Argyllshire he humanely went in after her, brought her on shore, and had her conveyed to the 'louse of- James Robb, near the spot. There she was put to bed, and had every comfort administered to her which humanity could suggest ; some time atter, bowever, to the surprise and indignation of ,the'Pibple. in. the house, having- left her but for - a few minutes, they fOund; do their return, she had decamped, carrying with her between 40s. and 5 . 05. 4. which she had taken out of a drawer. RING-DuOPPNRS." Yesterday morning three no torious fellows, who for some time infested this me tropolis and its vicinity, - were, while ;n -the ilet of at tempting to practise the stale trick of ring.klropping, on 'a respedable looking - ,person at the front of the Horse Guards, 'recognised by two of the'Officers of the Police, from' whence they were obliged to make a precipitate retreat to some other part of the town, where they, in all probability, would be enabled to prey on the unwary with better success. The two principals, seemingly are about 63 yearSof age, and their accomplice between 40 and .'5O; who generally follows them at a convenient distance. A fews: days ago two little girls,Mary and Hanny Brown, daughters of George. Brown, of Toby-hill, ;Church Town, were unfortunately drowned iii the : river Caldew j. when the- younger of' the girls had nearly'got across the bridge, which is very insecure, the bridge,.slipped Attie, and she was precipitated into the stream, which is very deep. The sister, „about 12 years of age, seeing the distress of the ' other, immediately leaped j 0 to endeavour to save her, but after having struggled for some time,-they were both drowned. • Several of their y l iutblui emu. .panion were present at this distressing event, but could render theft' no assistance. • F E NCH' P D 3.
